Indian-American Political Action Committee Raises USD 10 Mn For Democratic Presidential Campaign

A leading Indian-American advocacy and political action committee has announced that it has raised USD 10 million over the past three months to fund for election campaigns of its endorsed Democratic candidates, including presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Senator Kamala Harris. USD 10 million is the highest amount raised by any Indian-American political action committee so far. This fundraising strength reflects trends being seen across the country, said IMPACT executive director Neil Makhija. The considerable war chest will be spent to support turnout efforts in the Asian-American and Indian-American community and to elect IMPACT's 2020 slate of candidates, including Biden and Harris, as well as Indian-American candidates running up and down ballots in states across the country, a media release said on Monday. There's a level of enthusiasm and excitement about this year's election among Indian-American voters that is palpable and unrivaled in previous cycles, Makhija said.
